Thanks a lot bro!

If your using a tub standing alone not placed in a rack your best bet will be a uth. You will need to put it on a thermostat to regulate the uth from getting to hot. If your not getting an adult a 41qt is really to big starting out. Tubs are cheap enough I would start with a 21 then a 32 and then get a 41. A 41 should work for a male adult fine but may be to small for a full grown female. This all depends on what type of boa you get.

As for which uth to get. The Zoo Med are fine and probably the easiest to find. I just ordered a Flukers from Amazon but I have never used one. I liked the fact the mat doesn't get over 100° so I thought I would give it a try.
Its a juv. Why is a 41qt too big? Thanks for helping!

That way you can easily remove it and use it again on another container. As everyone else has said, just make sure to use a thermostat.
Thanks so much for your help!

Tubs will only work for the bigger boas while they are young, then they need much more room than that. No matter what you use, a heat mat or flexwatt, you must regulate it with a thermostat. I like the herpastat by spyder robotics.

No rack, just a 41qt tub. Planning to get a Hogg Island Boa. Yea I was hoping to use a under tank heater without the need of a thermostat. Thanks for the info!
